3rd December 2012 Christmas is coming

There is hope for photos yet :-) Here's this week's email

One
of the Townsville members bought me a camera, she'll be blessed and I am
grateful.

Transfers
is in 2 weeks. I really don't reckon
President will keep me up here for another transfer. The work is going well but
a lot of appointments seem to fall through. We just referred a pretty solid
investigator to Cairns after only teaching them for a week. It's the District
Young Women's president’s sister (who is less active) and her husband (who is the
non member) they are great but were only down here to recover after a car
accident (which is what made them decide to look to the Gospel again) so good
things are happening. It's hard to tract a lot in this heat but tract we must; our teaching pool is kinda low. We are going to push for referrals as well
though as that is the best missionary work, when the members are
involved.

I think I want to go to the temple a lot when I go home, a 2
and a half hour drive isn't that bad compared to people in Townsville, some
people can only go once a year and then they have to go to Sydney cos the
Brisbane temple has no accommodation It's going to be so bizarre at home after
being here, anyway that's a long way off and there is still a lot to be done
here.

The Brisbane mission might
breach 200 with the big influx of missionaries, its already up to 180 and
nearly half the mission is training new missionaries, I'll probs go down south
and either train or be in leadership. Anyway I'll love you and leave you
thanks for all your support with everything and your prayers.

Heaps of
love Elder John Kay xxx

P.S no I didn't see the eclipse, I would have to
wake up at 5 am so I was like BEAT IT!! hahahaha.
